Chapter 1066: Mutually Damaged

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The rich smell of blood filled the gorgeous sky as the fierce battle was getting intense with the glint and flash of cold steel weapons. Seething killing aura was emitting out of Tang Xiu as he felt the surge of his own power. However, even those at the same cultivation level couldn’t help shivering a little due to his physique that contained far greater strength than them.

“What minor abilities, but interesting nonetheless!”

Tang Xiu let out wild laughter. His body was as if turning into a whirlwind that charged toward the Nascent Soul Stage demonic beast. With the forming of the lightning sea, the demonic beast let out anguished screams, while the divine sword sent out a 100 meters long sword light that accurately crushed it down. Blood splattered everywhere as the strikes kept bombarding its figure from hundreds of meters away.

ROAAAR…

ACK! GUAH!

The ten Golden Core demonic beasts went into a frenzy. They only had one mission this time, and that was to kill powerful human beings, which was exactly Tang Xiu who had killed many of their kind. However, even their hiding commander was blown hard, making them extremely furious.

Resorting to their nearly suicidal charge, they instantly appeared near Tang Xiu. Taking advantage of their high-speed impact, they used their sharp claws and fangs to attack Tang Xiu without hesitation.

“You’re courting death!”

Tang Xiu unleashed the Lightning Evoker Art once again. A lightning bolt bombardment came down again, while his divine sword also unleashed sword energy that nearly swept them away.

The strikes swept over to dismember and kill!

With confidence, Tang Xiu kept fighting with the late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast. He successfully killed the ten Golden Core Stage demonic beasts in just a few breaths and instantly stored their remains inside his interspatial ring. No one saw his action when he took their remains away since his right hand moved lightning fast to pierce their corpses and then grabbed their fist-sized Demon Cores.

The divine sword’s might was very powerful, yet the power it consumed was equally enormous. The battle was still ongoing and waiting for him, so he must restore his consumed power as soon as possible.

Puff, puff, puff…

A bird-species demonic beast that was attacked by Tang Xiu and the Tang Sect disciples went into a frenzy. What made Tang Xiu furious was that two disciples of his sect were hit by several other demonic beasts since they couldn’t escape and then fell to the ground. He saw that those two mid-stage Foundation Establishment disciples had died before their bodies even fell to the ground.

On the ground, Bai Yuheng was also fighting demonic beasts separately. This was his first time facing demonic beasts. Although he was informed in advance that these beasts were very strong, he never dreamed that they would be this powerful. Some of them were even stronger than him, and he would’ve died several times already if it wasn’t for the two experts of the Bai Clan always protecting him.

“From which hell these fucking abominable demons come from?”

Bai Yuheng kept brandishing his long sword and slashed the demonic beast that was slightly weaker than him before retreating. He could clearly see that Tang Xiu had successfully killed 10 demonic beasts in just a few breaths. He also saw him rushing again towards another demonic beast after a brief stop.

‘Dammit! How can that bastard… be so powerful?’

His heart became cold. Envy, jealousy, and hatred filled his whole being. He had always been pampered since his birth, so he didn’t take Tang Xiu seriously before. Not only did he go so far as to provoke him, but he had also made a bet with him.

However, after seeing Tang Xiu’s methods in the battle and witnessing the speed of his men in killing demonic beasts, he just knew that he had completely lost, big time.

‘I can’t just admit it so easily! That fucking bastard will perhaps die in the hands of demonic beasts in the next moment. Xue Yu is mine! It’s impossible that I, Bai Yuheng, will lose to someone in this life!’

Deep unwillingness overflowed in his eyes. But the moment he was in a daze, two demonic beasts roared and dashed to the left behind his back, launching a fierce attack on him—the strikes would kill him instantly if they were to land.

“YOUNG MASTER!!!”

A white-haired old man fell back after arduously forcing back a demonic beast with his slash. His face was full of determination as he dashed behind Bai Yuheng and instantly blocked the attacks, using his left arm and exerting his power to push him out of danger.

Puff…

The white-haired old man’s back was pierced by a sharp claw—an inborn feature of praying mantis-like demonic beasts. If it wasn’t for this white-haired old man moving fast and pushing Bai Yuheng away, its claw would’ve pierced the old man’s chest and Bai Yuheng’s body.

“Elder Zuo!!!”

His complexion turning ghastly pale, Bai Yuheng’s eyes were filled with disbelief. It never occurred to him that his momentary daze would cause his most respected elder to die for the sake of saving him.

The white-haired old man’s body fell to the ground. Although he could sense that his life force was rapidly leaving his body, he still concentrated all his power on his right arm and swung upwards. Another demonic beast that was diving down at him was pierced by his blade on its abdomen, leaving a 10cm bleeding wound on it.

“Young Master, live… survive…”

His voice faded away and his raised arm also loudly dropped onto the ground as his last breath left his body.
